My Newest Babies

This post couldn't be bunched with the others, so here it is by itself. This year, I have decided to re-do the planting bed in front of our house. We have a prairie style home, so I really wanted to do something with wildflowers....well, at Mendards the other day I found a bunch of wild flower seeds and decided to see if I could grow them on my own and move them from their small pots into the ground when they're ready. I've never done anything like this before, and while I love plants, I normally lose interest in them after about a month and let them die. So, by posting the growth of my little babies on here every week, hopefully I will stay interested! I'm thinking of doing a "Flower Friday" where I post pictures of them every week, but I'll post these just to get started, and will update on Friday, too.

{Isn't this such a cool picture? I was kinda proud of myself on this one}

{See that big brownish guy? Those just started to pop up yesterday...I looked in the morning and they weren't there, then all of the sudden - BAM! Big momma-jomba's everywhere}

Now I have no idea if this will actually work, but it is fun to have them growing in the house...it really feels like a spring renewal when you have little plants popping up! My main goal is to get them big enough so I can take out all of the bushes we have in front now and just do a mix of wild flowers and grasses....I think it would be so cool.

{And just for the record, our house!! Well, the front porch. We don't have a lot of space to use up, so hopefully my plan will work....our house it so, so great in the fall with the color scheme (and my crazy mums) so hopefully we can make the summer landscaping look just as good!}
